Hathor as the emotions that you need to allow yourself to feel (rather than repressing them)

Hathor is a benevolent badass. She is also the goddess of beauty, love and strength and the patroness of women. Hathor can represent either a woman who is taking care of business, or someone who has a business related to women. She deals with all aspects of life that have historically been associated with women – cooking, hairstyling, beauty, clothing, fashion etc.

Hathor is all about strength, nourishment, femininity, astrology, organisation and confidence. She’s the Goddess of Motherhood & Childbirth. She’s also the Goddess of love, music and joy. With a strong hint of sensual power alongside.
Hathor carries the strength of a lion. She also sometimes appears as a cow – the symbol of nourishment. If she appears, then if may be that you feel as if that’s what you need right now. Alternatively, you may be concerned that you are providing too much of it to other people, to your own detriment. Loving others is enormously important. Loving ourselves is non-negotiable.
Overall, Hathor is strong enough to meet any challenge. She holds within her the energy of strength and love. You do too. But again, remember how important self-care is, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
If Hathor appears as a representative of emotions you need to allow yourself to feel, it’s possibly time to look at how you look after yourself. Are you serving your greatest good? It’s also time to consider how some radical self-care might contribute to your feeling better overall, and how taking time out to do that makes you feel.
